professionals.

process.

partner organizations, and they will be working with an organization that will help research 
perceptions of the City of Chandler and school districts to have that information inform how the 
campaign will be positioned.

and implementing this solution.

DAN HASKINS, Capital Projects Manager, continued the presentation on Item 29. He explained the 
construction manager at risk (CMAR) procurement process: CMAR is a qualifications-based 
selection process that allows the best contractor to be selected for the job. There are currently 
eight other CMAR projects with different contractors. Each CMAR had a different subcommittee 
that reviewed statement of qualifications and determined who won the project. In addition, the 
city also performs alternative delivery methods including job order contracts and low bid 
contracts. For the forensic facility, there were eight statements of qualification received, which 
were reviewed by a subcommittee of seven individuals. Four contractors moved forward to 
interviews with the subcommittee. The subcommittee was comprised of representatives from 
Capital Improvement Projects, Police Department, and a neutral contractor. Each representative 
individually scores interviewees independently from each other. Willmeng Construction, Inc was 
awarded the project. Subcommittee members also offer a debrief to other participating 
contractors in order to provide feedback. To avoid potential conflict of interest, contractors are 
not allowed to talk to city staff associated with the project after the request for proposals goes 
out. Individuals who worked in the city within the last year are not allowed to be awarded a project. 
In this procurement process, a contractor reached out to a city retiree for consultation, it was 
determined that this did not constitute a conflict of interest or impact the project. Willmeng 
Construction was informed that this individual will not be involved in the project.  
 
VICE MAYOR ELLIS asked how the southeast valley will be helped by the new forensic facility.  
 
MS. ROSENBERG said the ability to prevent crime through forensic testing will positively impact 
neighboring municipalities.  
 
VICE MAYOR ELLIS thanked staff for the presentation.  
 
MAYOR HARTKE asked how the forensic facility will help reduce the amount of Chandler’s forensic 
samples sent to external labs.  
 
MS. ROSENBERG said currently the city relies on the Arizona Department of Public Safety to 
provide the services the city does not. Chandler being able to provide its own services will allow 
the state to put their resources towards other communities.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked if any of the contractors requested a debrief after the 
procurement process. 
 
MR. HASKINS responded that they wait until after the project is awarded. Staff is prepared to work 
with contractors if they have questions.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked for the eight contractors that applied for this project.

Page 11 of 15 
 
MR. HASKINS said the contractors that applied were Caliente, Core, Jacobson, MJ Harris, MA 
Mortenson, Oakland, Sun Eagle, and Willmeng.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked if it is common practice for contractors to hire advisors.  
 
MR. HASKINS said in the statement of qualifications submitted, contractors listed advisors such as 
retired police officers from other municipalities and laboratory technicians. Contractors 
understand the needs of the individuals who have experience with similar projects. This had been 
the first time someone who was previously employed by the City of Chandler had been credited 
as an advisor, which is why they worked to ensure it was not a conflict of interest.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked to look into the policy further to ensure this policy is clear and 
fair. 
 
MR. HASKINS said staff will look into this.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked for information about the lowest and highest bids submitted.  
 
MR. HASKINS said financial information about the bids cannot be discussed at this time due to 
state statute regarding the procurement process.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked what is the current step in the process.  
 
MR. HASKINS explained that tonight’s item is for Council approval of the pre-construction services 
contract. If approved, then they will move forward with pre-construction services and then a 
guaranteed maximum price contract.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked when will the cost of the project be known. 
 
MR. HASKINS explained that they are early in the design phases, so the exact cost is unknown.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked to clarify what step of the process this item is for.  
 
MR. HASKINS said this item is to select the contractor used for this project. The contract is for pre-
construction services. The design phase of this project is occurring.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS said he would like more information regarding the procurement 
process. 
 
MAYOR HARTKE asked if this is a standard process for construction manager at risk projects.  
 
MR. HASKINS said yes.
